With a story like that and you still didn't get pulled out of the car and
strip-searched? That guard probably later started thinking about what you
said and the NEXT college student who says he's crossing the border "just to
buy LEGO" will probably be met with a lot more suspicion than you were.
Congratulations on another successful run!
See you on the battlefield.

Crossing the border back into the U.S. was quite an interesting experiance though... (...) (23 years ago, 12-Apr-02, to lugnet.western) !!
